Great view and great service!! I only had a sandwich and it was just ok but the other food I saw looked really good. I will give it another try soon read more

Enjoyed a great meal with really pleasant service at "On the Docks." We sat by the window and enjoyed the view of the water and the sky even though it was too cool to sit on the deck. We had the clams in cajun broth with toast which is really full of flavor and one of my favorites. Then my husband and I shared the lamb chop dinner with fresh delicious broccoli. It was cooked just as requested and was very well prepared. Enjoyed it. A bit disappointed bc they were out of the tall chocolate cake. Will have that on next trip! read more

On the Docks is such a gem! Delicious food with beautiful marina views right in front of the water. Ordered salmon with rice and broccoli wish the broccoli is well done... coz it's aldente for my taste. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and atmosphere. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to. read more

We walked in for Saturday lunch on a hot summer day and were surprised to find it so busy. Luckily we were seated right away because there were some tables inside, though the outside patio area looked great. I got wine, which was really forgettable, and we ordered just entrees as we weren't keen on having any leftovers for our ride back home. I got the seafood linguine which came with a heaping full of clams, mussels and a few plump shrimp. My friend had the lobster roll, which was the Maine style mayo kind and came with fries. The seafood linguine was good. I felt there was a good, generous amount of seafood and the sauce was that slightly spicy marinara. I had a bite of the lobster roll and it was good as well. I like buttery warm lobster roll better, but honestly this was not bad and had thick chunks of well-cooked lobster. Overall, this place was pretty solid for a last-minute lunch pick. Nothing crazy you couldn't get elsewhere, but pretty solid with good service. read more

Beautiful water view. Food was very tasty. Had the French dip and my friend had the seafood platter. Staff very nice.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 8 Value: 6 Overall: 6 Upon reaching the parking lot of this restaurant, you can see why it's called On The Docks. Beautiful harbor view with water and sail boats, the environment is very calming. The interior design is also somewhat nautical with its color scheme and decorations. Staring out the large windows on a beautiful day is really a treat. Our group of seven certainly enjoyed the atmosphere. As for the food, we were able to share a bunch of different dishes from the menu. Honestly nothing too special, but also nothing bad either, so mostly middle of the road. My favorites were probably the Shrimp Po'Boy and French Dip Sandwich. The Baked Grouper, Potato Gnocchi, and Rueben were all decent. I didn't try the salmon, but my friend said that it was great, and it was a huge portion. Our servers were very friendly and have the sharpest ears ever. They heard what we needed and fulfilled our needs quickly. The only unfortunate thing was that they weren't able to come by as often when the restaurant got busy, therefore our glasses were often left empty. What I have come to realize about the far east on Long Island is that there are many beautiful restaurants that offer average food, but always provide nice decor and solid service. Usually the prices are a bit high, but the portion sizes are also quite reasonable. On The Docks follows that exact formula and I don't hate them for it. read more

The place has gorgeous view during the day We had dinner during restaurant week. $39 for 3 course meal. Honestly it's too much food for me. The baked oysters were delicious, the soup was nice. I had pork breaded which was very good except it was smothering in sauce. The salmon was very good. For dessert we had the apple crumble. It was good to try. Service was excellent. read more

While on the north Fork of Long Island, and after finishing your day at the wineries, when looking for something to eat, your next stop should be ON THE DOCKS. Great American food, ( surf and turf ) and the view is amazing. In the warmer months sit outside on the deck full bar is there and enjoy the boats coming and going. In the fall the sunset is spectacular. Great inside bar with live music on the weekends. Decent prices and parking, friendly staff and hard working. CIAO FOR NOW read more

Over the last year of living in Riverhead, I have visited on the docks many times what makes it unique is every time is perfect. The people are professional, always friendly and simply always perfect along with the food which is delicious and reasonably priced simply for this area, you cannot beat this restaurant. read more

I came here with some friends for a first time visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Two of us had the shrimp tacos, and my other friend had a salad with grilled chicken. The tacos were very flavorful and had a generous amount of grilled shrimp in them and we enjoyed the crispy french fries as well. I would definitely order that dish again. We loved sitting on the covered deck overlooking the marina and were in good hands with our waitress who was very friendly and attentive. I look forward to coming back and bringing other friends. read more

Good for what it is. Amazing pub with great service in the winter and great outdoor space in the summer. Food is pub style. Nicole is my favorite read more

We went Tuesday May 5, stopped and had a drink at the bar and an appetizer before dinner. The bartender was fabulous, she was very busy even stepping away to change a tap, but handled it all smoothly. The manager at the restaurant was so pleasant and easy going, told us to take your time as they were not that busy in the dining room. We were sated in the back as the dock was closed due to high winds. Again greeted with a warm smile & very hospitable waitress. We order and my wife asks for the NOFO salad with a piece of Salmon that was on the menu (no modifications) she was told they cant do that? they can only do shrimp or chicken? I asked why and it was explained that the Chef cant's because where they prepare the salmon it is on the other side of the kitchen? when the server came back i told her i am in the hospitality business for many years & I never heard that kind of reasoning. I am a manager & our motto is the answer is yes what is the question? she had the shrimp tacos (soso) and I had the fried very small shrimp We always like going to on the docks when we are out that way. Food is typically good and the service on point. I don't think putting a piece of salmon on a salad on a Tuesday in early May should have been an issue read more

Had the best experience at On The Docks! The best food and ambiance on the east end. I cannot wait until the weather allows for the outdoor bar. Will be back very soon read more

Beautiful place. The staff were very kind. We appreciated our server. She was great. They were all attentive of our table. The food was not bad. We loved to sit outside and catch the breeze and look at the boats. There is an inside section in case it gets too cold for you.

Food was good. Seafood pasta had fresh clams and mussels. Very tasty. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Service was very lacking.

This restaurant is located not too far from my house and it is somewhere I frequent. Between the seafood, to the salads to the meat options, everything is so fresh. The portions are sizable and it's quite reasonable! What I appreciate about this place is year after year, the quality and standards are so consistent. The service is fantastic. I had a server named Amanda I believe who was so knowledgeable and constantly checked in on us to make sure everything was ok and that glasses were constantly filled. Kudos to her for doing a great job! The restaurant itself is so lovely. It has a nice indoor area with A/C and a lovely outside area right on the water. Coming here for dinner and seeing the sunset is something I highly recommend. 5/5 stars, highly recommend. read more

Stopped for lunch. The view was beautiful, over looking a marina. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They didn't scoff at us when we refused dessert and mentioned we were heading to Snowflake next. Instead, our waitress called over a local wait staff to comment on the best homemade ice cream around. That alone deserves extra stars! My linguine clam sauce was more like linguine with clams. I haven't had any dish with so many clams perfectly cooked. The clams were just over the raw stage, like poached eggs, perfect. The broth was not heavily salted nor buttered. It was delicious enough to spoon after all the pasta was eaten. It was a good thing the dish came with a spoon. I forgot what my husband had to eat. I was too busy enjoying my dish. Linguine with clam sauce is my go to dish for Italian seafood restaurants, and this by far was the best. (Second to Siracusa.) This would be our favorite Riverhead restaurant when we visit! read more

I love this place! First time there on Saturday, just by chance came across it. We got there just in time before the place got packed! We sat in the bar area because at first we thought we'd just a drink. Looking at the menu, we got smitten and ordered the Nofo salad, (excellent) and a burger with fries. Food was outstanding which actually surprised me, only because sometimes pretty locations don't have to work that hard to attract a crowd. Now I why it was packed at 6 pm on Saturday night! Oh, and there was fun live music in the bar area. We will definitely go back and sit outside. Now we know to get there early! Enjoy! read more

We had a lovely lunch here. I had the chicken teriyaki with rice and vegetables and my husband had the burger. We both enjoyed our meal. The service was great and the ambiance by the water is beautiful. I took away 1 star because there were multiple flies inside the restaurant that you had to constantly swing away from your food. We also asked to be sat outside (it was empty) and the hostess told us "no". However, 5 minutes later she sat 3 other couples outside. I'm sure a misunderstanding, but sad that we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful views. read more

Two walked in on a Thursday around 1pm. Greeted and seated immediately. Fairly busy considering the day and time. Bar had a decent crowd. There is a second bar outside with quite a few tables, but is was windy and cool. I didn't see anyone outside. The Inside tables nicely spaced out. Had a nice view of the marina and inlet thru spotless glass. We didn't have any appetizers despite there being an extensive selection. One plain burger with a side of fries and a Nofo salad. We weren't in any hurry and our server did not push us along. Meals arrived in about 10 minutes. My medium rare burger was cooked absolutely perfect. The fries were hot and delicious. The salad was fresh with added chicken, also delicious. No desserts Our server was extremely professional, I believe his name was Ryan. Restaurant was very clean and appeared adequately staffed. Yes, I know a very basic lunch. But if they couldn't get that right, why come back ? Will definitely return. Possibly for dinner or even another lunch sitting outside. read more

Always good had lunch with friends. Everyone happy. Returned for diner; Returned for restaurant week diner with friends. Everything was excellent. Salmon with an apricot glaze, I had Alaskan Cod broiled, my wife enjoyed a chicken dish. We split a wedge salad, yum. Beer and liquor available at reasonable price. Service was very good. The view of the bay on a cloudy day was beautiful through walls of windows. The nautical decor is welcoming. Very enjoyable meal. read more

I still totally miss when this restaurant was Phil's but On the Docks is still good. My husband and I ate here this past weekend around 12pm. It was quiet, which was perfect for us! Unfortunately, we couldn't eat outside because it was not at least 65 degrees. I was looking forward to it, too! Nonetheless, we were seated right by the window and had a gorgeous view. Our fried calamari appetizer was absolutely delicious and fresh. I mean, it's a seafood restaurant, so it better be! My chicken fingers and fries were great, I just miss the old fries from Phil's, as I mentioned in my below review. It is what it is. My husband loved his tacos. The restaurant was extremely clean and service was great! read more

First I must say, this restaurant offers amazing views. When we arrived, we made reservations in advance and requested a table that's views the water. The service was outstanding here as well. Every single staff member was so kind and helpful. And for the main part, the food, everything was excellent. We tried the chipotle bbq burger and the seafood linguine. Both were so good and I recommend them both highly. I love myself a good tasty burger, and that's what you will get here. For dessert, we tried the chocolate cake, and this was the perfect choice to end the evening. We will be coming back for sure to try some additional menu choices. read more

Went there recently (February/off season) the view of the marina is pretty although too cold to go outside and walk around. The seafood was fresh and nicely fried (you can taste it's not old oil) baked and broiled pending our dishes. Flavorful, will be back to try the other dishes. Friendly service and staff all around. Didn't have to wait wasn't overcrowded. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday and it was LI restaurant week. Once you approach the restaurant, it is obviously the main attraction on the block. You can't miss it. When you go in, there is a room for bar partons on your left and the restrooms on your right. You walk down a short hallway to see the host. Unfortunately, you couldn't make reservations ahead of time, so go early or be prepared to wait. They have outdoor seating except that day was a bit windy and once the sunsets, it would be cold. We opted for indoor sitting. We gave the hostess a name and contact number then wait 25 minutes for a table to be available. Travis, our waiter, made our evening memorable by his friendly nature, keeping our glasses filled and checking in on us to make sure we are doing well. If you are expecting complimentary Bread Basket, don't. We decided to order from the restaurant week menu: Appetizers: - Baked Clams Casino: pretty good - Lobster Bisque Soup: had bits of lobster too - yum! Entree: the dishes were large - Beef Short Ribs with Vegetables and Mashed Potatoes: - Linguine di mare with shrimp, scallops, and clans in a marinara sauce: this was delicious Dessert: - Carrot Cake - a bit dry - Vanilla Ice Cream This place has a great view of the docks and great landscape though the sunset might be a bit too bright in the late afternoon. Enjoy! read more

I've had a place on the north fork for over 25 years and I can't believe this is the first time I've been to on the docks had a great dinner outdoors last night. The steam clams appetizer was terrific with a unique spicy Cajun sauce that was just right. I also had the black and salmon which was cooked to perfection with a side of rice and grilled vegetables. It was the perfect meal. Our server was cheerful and efficient and we had the opportunity to chat on the dock with other cordial patrons. Wonderful experience great food looking forward to coming back. read more

Food and service were very good. The view from dock dining is beautiful. As is inside if you're by the windows. Our server was great. We brought some family who came from out of state. They very much enjoyed the view & food also. Pretzel app was really good. We had variety of menu items and all were good: burger, pasta with seafood, salad. Tap beer was nice & cold. Prices a bit high, but for the view it's worth it. Definitely will come back. read more
